"Italy is such a wonderful place. I fell in love immediately sa country. But inevitably, I have to go back here. I dont know. Suddenly I had an inkling na bumalik dito sa Pinas para dito naman i-share ang expertise ko with the camera."

"You must be very happy with your wife?" ask ko na lang bigla. Konting pasaring to probe further into his current personal situation.

Pero natahimik si Rock Star for a couple of seconds. Napatingin sa kanyang nomu na parang isang daang pulgada ang lalim. Bigla na siyang napangiti. "Si Felisima!" sabay buntung hininga. . "Naalala ko, nagkakilala kami sa isang piazza sa Rome. I'm still finishing my studies in photography and I was taking pictures of a certain fountain for my final project and I caught a glimpse of this very beautiful girl, she was feeding the doves. She's so beautiful I almost mistook her as a saint or something. Fair skin, long black hair, and those expressive eyes that caught me off-guarded."

"Okay lang naman kung ayaw mong pag-usapan yon eh. I just wanted to look back at those days. In fact, I owe you a lot of things, I've learned a lot from you. Sorry, kung medyo aloof ako sa 'yo ngayon kasi it seems as if you changed a lot, rather you changed everything."

"Hindi naman sa ganon. I'm still the same Rock Star that you know. Yung radical, yung rebelde, yung atheist, yung artist, siguro tumanda na lang tayo pareho kaya medyo naninibago tayo sa isa't isa. Pero actually bilib nga ako sa yo eh. Parang you are still the same Bernard that I last saw in my graduation, before I left UP. Parang you are still the same Bernard that I fell in love with. You haven't changed a bit, parang kahapon lang tayo huling nagkasama. And I never felt this kind of feeling with anyone before or with anyone ever."

Then right after we stepped out of the bar, he stopped. He faced me and looked into me deep in the eyes. At first, nakakatakot, as in, para siyang mamamatay tao but later on lumalamig ang mga tingin niya at unti-unting nagtayuan ang mga balahibo ko sa batok. He began touching my face gently. "I love you Huney!"
